There was another couple favorite moments. First - and probably the first kill. A frigate. Stealth bomber… killed by XL guns. And second. During another I-HUB bash Gallente brought sniping battlecruisers - Nagas, who were trying to kill our own bombers and even larger vessels. They stayed at a distance about 120-130km and considered they were safe. One volley showed they were wrong, leaving just a smoldering wreck behind. ---

Seriously. I hate this ship. I really, really hate this ship. But it’s the right tool for the current job, so I’m stuck with it. And since this is where my ‘flag’ is for the current campaign… this is m’damned flagship. I’d rather be using the _Hel_ or_Lif_, but… feh. Over the last year or so that I’ve owned it, there’s been a trend that’s been noticed by both myself and several of the FCs: If I bring this ship, either the capitals/supercapitals don’t jump in, or the enemy doesn’t show up. It was ‘there’s no fight’ until about a month ago, when it looked like I’d finally be able to get it onto a battlefield… only, it turned out the system was cynojammed, and nobody’d noticed. I’ve had offers to blow it up on the undock, from friendly titan pilots, but really, if it’s going to go down, I’d at least like it to be in performance of its actual _job_, instead of just… thrown away. ---

This is a good topic and I like that it’s not dead. People should post if they’ve changed their flagship or, maybe, if they have a secondary ship of equal importance. Or if the original flagship’s interior was suddenly exposed to hard vacuum, decompressed, caught fire, melted, and was the center of an unplanned and uncontrolled reactor explosion. ---

Fighting Sansha’s Nation incursions in high security space ● Crew: 170 Crewmen, three squads of 14 marines, group of female exotic dancers. ● Purpose: Primarly combat ship, fighting Sansha’s incursions ● Designated as Flagship because: I was looking for ship that could fight Sansha Kuvakei’s armies and also used hybrid weapon system. ● Favorite moments: Destruction of The Kundalini Manifest mothership. It was late morning, FC was looking for pilots brave enough to go to the eye of the storm. Scouts found Kuvakei’s mothership. We knew that if we destroy it we can liberate people from the constellation and chase Sansha away. Fleet was formed really fast, people wanted to destroy that ship, some of them wanted it because of CONCORD payouts, some because of personal motives. It didn’t matter.

Several hundred additional crew when combat ready. ● Purpose: Heavy assault, home defense, parade ● Reasons for flagship designation: _Ashfall_ was purchased and assembled as a replacement for my previous flagship, TES _Yonis Ardishapur_, an _Apocalypse_-class battleship. The _Yonis Ardishapur_ remains in service as a fast attack battleship, but _Ashfall_ was desirable as a flagship for its superior offensive and defensive capabilities when employed as part of a fleet action or against ships of its own size. I also just prefer _Armageddon_ battleships over _Apocalypses_ due to their drone-carrier function. ● Favorite moments: None yet, newly commissioned * * * ![fylgja](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/3X/2/4/24f70f55d4ba57813ca06842d70f77049274f725.jpg) **Roaming Flag** ● Name: TES _Fylgja_ ● Nickname: N/A ● Class: _Legion_-class strategic cruiser ● Age: Assembled July 20th YC120 ● Homedock: Roving; _Fylgja_ carries everything she needs with her and maintains an around-the-clock crew complement.

After the unfortunate demise of the _Anukis_ at the hands of vicious wormholers, the role of “flagship” is one I’ve been looking to fill.

The 200 crew battleship right above you didn’t catch your attention then? There’s plenty of similar “oddities” throughout the thread, I’ve just chalked it up to extensive post-manufacture modifications and automatization. Many, many functions can be automated inside ships, but usually aren’t because it isn’t cost-effective. Capsuleers usually have enough dosh to make their ships however customized they want. That’s my theory, anyway. ---

People massively lowballing their crew numbers seems to be the norm these days, for some reason. That the current crop of capsuleers tend to also be lily-livered is an interesting correlation. “Automation” my entire arse.
